Tommy

Meet Tommy – The Gentle Giant with the Million-Dollar Smile

Tommy is a sweet, 3-year-old, 75-pound German Shepherd mix who was rescued from an overcrowded shelter. He arrived shy, fearful, and unsure, likely due to a difficult past, and required patient, gentle foster care to feel safe. Thanks to that love and consistency, Tommy has blossomed into the sweetest, calmest, and most loyal companion. He absolutely needs a slow warm-up period and adopters who understand that trust for him is built quietly, steadily, and on his timeline. Once he lets you in, it's magic! In his foster home, Tommy found comfort in his kennel, learned to use a doggy door, and loves lounging on the porch and sniffing the breeze with a big, contented smile. He will likely thrive best in a home with another confident, friendly dog who he can follow and feel braver with. His foster family is committed to being an ongoing resource for his success and will gladly take him back if the adoption isn't the right fit. If you’re looking for a calm, gentle soul who will be your quiet shadow and loyal friend, Tommy may be the perfect match.
